What type of event must an agent conduct to collect consumer information and schedule future appointments?

A marketing/sales event is designed specifically for agents to engage with consumers and gather valuable information about their needs and preferences. During such events, agents can promote products, explain services, and schedule follow-up appointments to discuss options further or answer any questions. This type of event emphasizes interaction and information exchange, making it the most effective setting for agents to collect consumer data and set appointments for future discussions.

On the other hand, networking events often focus on establishing connections with other professionals rather than directly engaging with consumers or selling products. Training sessions are primarily intended for skill development and education, lacking the direct consumer interaction needed for information collection. Community outreach events can foster goodwill and build relationships but may not specifically focus on collecting detailed consumer information and scheduling future appointments in the same manner as marketing/sales events do.
